Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools versions 8.59 through 8.61

Description The issue is related to the Portal component of Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools, where the structure of web pages is not properly protected. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to read, modify, add, or delete data using the HTTP protocol. Successful attacks may require human interaction and can significantly impact additional products. The attacks can result in unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some data, as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of the data.

Recommendations For versions 8.59 through 8.61, consider restricting access to the Portal component until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of HTTP protocol for sensitive operations until the issue is resolved. Restrict access to sensitive data to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
